Ok unfortunatley nothing is springing out of that log so we will have to try a few things unless someone else sees something ive missed.first off is this a pre built machine eg Dell, HP etc or one you have built yourself.

Once downloaded double click the file and follow the instructions to install it.

Once it's installed, Run the program.

Now launch Combat Arms

Wait around 30-45 minutes of playing and then take a screen shot of the information speed fan is showing.

To do a screenshot:

Click on your Print Screen button on your keyboard.

Now go to Start and then to All Programs

Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint

In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V

Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as

Save as file type JPEG and save it to your Desktop

In your next reply under the text box click Manage attachments

Then click Choose File and find the picture. Click Open

Then click Upload

I also advise at this moment that you work through updating out of date drivers. If you have installed Windows Vista for example without updating drivers that can cause issues.

You could use something like DriverMax to check or a better way would be to manually search through. Especially look into Graphics, Chipset, LAN/Modem drivers, USB decice and addon drivers. If you need help with that then let me know and I we can generate another log to look at what needs doing.

Now there are also a few systems files coming up in the list. Due to that I would like to do a system test. We are going to scan your system for broken/ missing system files.

Click Start then select run , then press enter. A run window will open

type in cmd then press enter. Another window will open

type in sfc then press enter. Another window will open

type in sfc /scannow then press enter ( notice the space between the (sfc & /)

Now a scan will start , have your Windows XP disk ready. If your PC asks for the disc insert the CD into your CD Drive. When the scan is finished you will need to close the cd and all open windows , then remove the CD.Then post back with the results.

Also in your next reply don't forget to attach your screenshot of SpeedFan.

Hey rev_olie,

Sorry for the delay, it has been a busy week for me.

Anyways anytime I try to time it right, I never make it to get the screen shot. It happens now more at random times. I tried to write down my temperatures before it crashed though (I have dual monitors and kept the SpeedFan up and running on the other monitor.
